While seeking evidence last night of the motivations and ideology of President Trump’s would-be assassin, named Thomas Matthew Crooks, I came across what appeared to be his purported Instagram page.

Woman sitting behind Trump during Pennsylvania assassination attempt goes viral for very strange behavior
A woman who was sitting behind Donald Trump when he survived his assassination attempt has sparked suspicion over her strange behavior.
Footage showing the unidentified woman — wearing sunglasses, a white shirt and a black hat — pulling out her phone as shots rang out at the Pennsylvania rally on Saturday has gone viral.
She did so while everyone else — including Trump — ducked down to the ground, in fear for their lives.

The woke media’s grotesque gloating over the shooting of Trump
Imagine being taken off the airwaves because your bosses are worried you might gloat over an attempted murder. That, reportedly, has been the fate of pundits on MSNBC’s maddeningly woke talk show, Morning Joe. It’s been pulled from the air today, in the wake of the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, allegedly out of fear that a guest might make an ‘inappropriate’ comment about the shooting. CNN has the lowdown. It reports that MSNBC benched its best-known show, despite the ‘seismic’ events of the past 48 hours, as a pre-emptive strike against the possibility that one of the ‘stable of two-dozen-plus guests’ would say something nuts about the violence visited on Trump.

A Compromised Secret Service
The agency has sacrificed its basic mission on the altar of DEI.
It was a shot heard around the world.
On Saturday, a gunman whom the FBI has identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks fired a burst of rifle shots at former president Donald Trump, grazing his ear and nearly killing him. The attempted assassination is an historic, and perilous, moment. We’ll get commentaries and investigations, and the government will announce reforms.
But amid all the chaos weaves the thread of another story, one that reveals a mounting problem in our political life. A surprising number of the Secret Service agents protecting the former president were women. And, according to video recordings of the scene, many did not acquit themselves favorably.

UBC, U Alberta, U Guelph profs lament Trump assassination attempt failed, call it staged
Dr. Karen Pinder, a medical professor at University of British Columbia (UBC), said it’s “too bad” the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump was unsuccessful.
Trump on Saturday was shot at with a rifle from a rooftop during the Republican Convention in Pennsylvania Saturday. The bullet skimmed the cartilage in his ear, but otherwise he was unharmed. One person was killed, and two critically injured.
I don’t care what they said. I do care that their ideology may dictate the ill-treatment of students and colleagues they consider political enemies.
Send your kids to a trade school.
Secret Service Identified Rooftop as Potential Vulnerability Before Rally
The rooftop where a shooter positioned himself before nearly assassinating former President Donald Trump Saturday at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania was identified as a potential vulnerability in the days before the event, according to a report.
Two sources “familiar with the agency’s operations” told NBC News that the Secret Service was aware of the risks associated with the rooftop, which tops a glass research company next to the Butler Farm Show where the rally was taking place.

Taibbi: The Slow Motion Assassination
Matt Taibbi, as he so often does, hit the nail on the head with his Substack post calling the past eight years a “slow-motion assassination” of Donald Trump. The escalating rhetoric, the lawfare campaign, the comparisons to Hitler (and calling him “worse than Hitler), and the escalating panic that despite their legal and illegal campaign to destroy him he has become the likely winner of the 2024 election.

Those Trump-Hating Wine Moms
For white urban and suburban ‘Wine Moms,’ the Internet serves the all-important cause of virtue signalling through Trump hatred.
My interest in politics began way before Trump. In fact it goes back at least to Election Day 1964. I had just turned eight. Somehow I had decided that I preferred Barry Goldwater to Lyndon Johnson. That evening I lay in bed and watched the election results on the tiny little TV set beside my bed. (Tiny little TV sets were a thing then.) It became obvious very early in the evening that LBJ would, as predicted, be winning by a landslide, and my mother yelled up to me from downstairs and told me that it was over and that it was time for me to turn off the TV and go to sleep already. But I couldn’t accept that LBJ had won. I kept watching. I guess I finally conked out with the TV on.
Carson Jerema: The left pretends Trump’s ‘rhetoric’ is worse than assassination attempt
Donald Trump’s more deranged critics are so focused on tone and language that they are either dismissing the assassination attempt against him or they are outright blaming him for the attack. As regrettable as the Saturday shooting at the Trump rally was, his critics seem to think, what’s truly disturbing is the “rhetoric” that characterizes the U.S. presidential campaign.
CNN’s Hunt Notes ‘Massive Failure’ by Secret Service—Silences Talk of Possible ‘Inside Job’
On CNN this morning, host Kasie Hunt described the attempted assassination of Donald Trump in blunt, truthful terms as:
“A massive failure by the Secret Service.”
Moments later, when panelist Elliott Williams, in the context of a discussion of unverified information on social media, made mention of people floating the notion of an “inside job,” Hunt shut him down, saying:
“We don’t want to get into that.”
How ‘Trump’s genius photographer’ captured the would-be killer bullet
When a bullet flew by Donald Trump’s ear at a speed near 2,000mph, it was not clear to Doug Mills, who was standing a few feet away taking photographs, that he had just captured one of the most remarkable images of the 21st century.
We Now Know Why Secret Service Resources Were Redirected From Trump Rally
There are so many questions about how it was possible for a gunman to nearly assassinate former President Donald Trump late Saturday afternoon. Questions have been raised over who has jurisdiction over the building that the shooter was perched on, but it is widely agreed that there weren’t enough Secret Service resources protecting President Trump. This failure will be subjected to intense scrutiny for many, many months.

FBI: Ideology fueling Trump rally gunman still unknown
BETHEL PARK, Pa. — The FBI said Sunday that investigators have not yet identified any ideology fueling the gunman who fired at former president Donald Trump at a packed campaign rally, and they believe he carried out the horrifying assassination attempt on his own.
This is "play dumb" week for the media and the top Democrat brainwashers.
They know who propagandizes their base into believing the entire Hoax Mesh Network they have created.
They know the massive mental illness it is creating.
They know open borders and the rest of their… https://t.co/yFxM0MdsH9

‘Morning Joe’ pulled from air Monday over Trump assassination attempt
MSNBC pulled its left-leaning talk show “Morning Joe” from the air on Monday following an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump over the weekend.
The progressive show, hosted by Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, will not air Monday morning and will resume Tuesday, despite the start of the Republican National Convention.
A source familiar with the matter told CNN that the show was pulled to prevent one of its dozens of guests from making an inappropriate comment while live that could paint the show and network in a bad light.
